We present a case report of successful treatment of shock induced by the calcium channel blocker (CCB) diltiazem. A 75-year-old woman took a combination of tablets, including diltiazem. ⋯ Haemodynamic stability was not achieved until an insulin infusion and glucose administration was started. We review the literature and the updated guidelines for the treatment of CCB intoxication, with particular emphasis on situations where insulin and glucose infusions can be live saving.
